In the Euro 2024, Turkey coach Vincenzo Montella celebrated their victory over Austria with a place in the quarter-finals. For Montella, this was a particularly sweet moment after a crushing defeat to Austria in a friendly match earlier this year. With center-back Merih Demiral scoring both goals, Turkey’s triumph in Leipzig marked their first appearance in the quarter-finals of a major tournament since Euro 2008.
Montella took time to reflect on their previous loss to Austria and spoke about the criticism they faced. He mentioned that losing by such a large margin earlier in the year was a low point in his coaching career, and he felt a deep desire to make it right. Despite not considering it revenge, Montella was focused on putting things back on track and showcasing his competitive spirit.
Looking ahead to the upcoming quarter-final match against the Netherlands, Montella emphasized the importance of hard work in realizing their dreams. He highlighted the immense support they have received from Turkish fans, especially in Germany. With a strong backing from fans both in Germany and around the world, Montella expressed his happiness in bringing pride to the Turkish community.
